Description

Sourton Down 1.3 miles. Two Shoes Cottage is an appealing, two-bedroom holiday home located in Sourton, a little village on the outskirts of the Dartmoor National Park in the picturesque county of Devon. This home welcomes four guests and two dogs for a tranquil, rural retreat to the Devonshire countryside with tasteful, rustic décor, a well-presented, open-plan living area, and fantastic proximity to nearby amenities and attractions. Make yourself at home in your new lodgings by whipping up a tasty, home-cooked meal in the fully-equipped kitchen area.

Then, settle down to enjoy your culinary creations with your loved ones at the dining table or gathered on the spacious corner sofa while watching a film on the TV, all the while being kept warm and cosy by the crackling embers of a woodburning stove.

Alternatively choose to settle in the first floor living space (with larger TV), approached via the mezzanine library area: enjoy the beautiful views of the surrounding countryside or watch the sun set over Bodmin Moor. In the evening, retire to one of the two inviting bedrooms, one of which is a super king-size with an en-suite bathroom, where you can relax and get ready for a welcome night's sleep. Outside you'll find a pretty cottage garden with flower beds, plus a small lawn and patio area, accessed via the lower ground floor.

You can take a break from cooking by visiting one of the nearby country pubs that serve home-cooked meals, or you can visit the market town of Okehampton.

There is a bus stop just outside the property with regular buses to Okehampton and Tavistock, a world heritage site with a popular pannier market.

Okehampton is a charming town best known for its impressive Okehampton Castle, as well as the scenic Meldon Viaduct and Nine Maidens stones circle. The cottage is an ideal base for exploring Dartmoor National Park with a variety of walks, including the West Devon Way, Dartmoor Way and Two Castles Way just across the road.

There is also the option of cycling and walking along the Granite Way and local walks to Lydford and surrounding villages. Exeter, a charming and historic city worth visiting, is within easy reach by car, train and bus and a great place for exploring and shopping, with a variety of boutiques and high-street stores to browse. Make Two Shoes Cottage your home base for any activities you decide to partake in while visiting Devon. Note: This property can be booked with Ref. 1103740, together sleeping 8 guests.

A lovely cottage, a nice size enclosed garden, excellent for dogs.

Owners close by for help and assistance if required. Easy access to local pubs. Best lemon drizzle cake

Two shoes cottage was lovely!

Plenty of space & stayed reasonably cool in the heatwave! We found nice places to go although would have liked to have done a bit more walking especially on Dartmoor, but it was too hot! Nice pubs/restaurants in the area and all very fog friendly! We hope to stay here again - lovely owner, very friendly & helpful & made us a very nice cake plus left milk & dog biscuits!

Fantastic property in the village of Sourton.

Lovely cottage setting next to fields with lovely views. Great living room upstairs with lovely views and comfortable sofa and chair. On ground floor living area with dining and kitchen all well equipped. Two comfortable bedrooms one with kingsize bed and small on-suite. The bathroom is great with lovely shower. Outside they have outdoor chairs and tables. Very close to local pub and not far to Okehampton. Great location and would recommend to anyone.
